Collective Health is betting that growing dissatisfaction with rising health-care costs will lure more firms to its technology, which lets employers cut through the tangle of different benefits they typically administer.
President Donald Trump has frequently been accused of trying to undermine Obamacare. New data show that by at least one measure he didnt do a particularly good job of it.
A new nonpartisan group, United States of Care, will push for policy changes based on the idea that despite deep political divisions, Americans want many of the same things when it comes to their health.
The companies' new partnership has the potential to be one of the most ambitious employer efforts to date to control health expenses.
